Update: Document Management Improvements Released
Elise McIntosh August 04, 2009
The Document Management Improvements release is now available for all Workspace 5 customers. We're still eager to hear what you think in the comments below.
We're very excited to announce the completion of the new group Documents page. This release includes a brand new design for this page and a lot of new features.
- New documents page design, with dynamic menus, info fly-outs, and improved performance
- Document locking
- Online document editing for text-based documents and spreadsheets
- Enhanced folder options, including the ability to share all documents in a folder automatically and select which columns are displayed
- Control over the displayed folder order
- Enhanced filters and quick "At a Glance" views, showing top documents, docs referenced by ballots, and in-page string searches
- Improved bulk exports, with document metadata included in the export file
New video tour of the UI changes has been posted. Documents Tour

We are heavy user of document management and any improvements would be welcome. Document locking will help with those documents where a couple of people or very small team are trying to complete a document. Folder level sharing could be interesting because right now any document being shared goes into a pile and makes it hard to find. Over time we have had a need for being able to reorganize documents so having a way to do it would be great. Thank you for listening to our input.
The new features look really nice. The user interface is much improved. The only nit I have is that the screenshot in the announcement on the web site should link to a larger version of the screenshot. It is too small to see the details.
The new document management design looks great. Show it off in its full glory! :-)
Thanks, Jason. Good catch. The document release page on Kavi.com now features an expandable screenshot.
